Gluten-Free Ice Cream Cones

MAKES 6 TO 8 CONES You don’t need special kitchen equipment to make these cones, but a silicone baking mat makes it easier to remove the dough circles from the baking sheet prior to shaping. You’ll need to shape the circles straight from the oven while they’re still soft, so bake them one at a time. Or, to bake two at a time, put the second circle back into the oven for a few moments to soften it before shaping or ask a friend to help. Also, the cones will be very hot during shaping, so try wearing thin cotton or rubber gloves if it’s too much for your fingers. Or cool your fingers on an ice pack just before shaping. The batter can be made 3 days ahead, stored airtight in the fridge, and brought to room temperature before spreading and baking, but the cones are best the day they’re made.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup corn flour (we like this one)
  • 1/4 cup sweet white rice flour (we like this one)
  • 1 tablespoon potato starch (we like this one)
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 egg whites (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Set an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350ºF. Place a silicone mat or piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flours, potato starch, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the egg whites, sugar, and vanilla. Whisk in half of the dry ingredients and then slowly add the melted butter, whisking briskly. Add the rest of the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Let sit, uncovered, for 20 to 30 minutes to hydrate the batter.
  4. Stir the batter. If it's too thick to easily spread into a thin layer, mix in 1 to 2 tablespoons water until combined.
  5. Using a small offset spatula, gently spread about two tablespoons of batter into a smooth, thin, even circle 6 to 8 inches in diameter. Bake until lightly browned, 7 to 15 minutes (total baking time depends on your oven).
  6. Gently release the circle with a metal spatula. Working as quickly as possible, carefully shape the circle into a cone or around a cone form, pressing along the seam to seal it, focusing on rolling the bottom of the cone to get a sealed point by lightly pinching it. Gently place the cone upright in a mason jar or tall glass and let cool completely. Repeat with the remaining batter.
